I took a stab at the code and I think the new version improves writing
multiple small buffers a lot.  In my testing it still works in other
scenarios, too, but I would be very grateful if somebody could have a
critical look into my code changes as posted in
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-cvs/2014-q3/msg00003.html

I uploaded a new developer snapshot to http://cygwin.com/snapshots/
Please give it a thorough try.


Thanks,
Corinna
